Alpine Breathwork & Hiking
Klosters and neighboring trails, Switzerland
“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” – W.B. Yeats
Our minds expand when we move our bodies, breathe with intention, and spend time in nature with good people, away from screens and 24/7 noise. Our nervous systems settle when we’re grounded and connected.
So that’s exactly what we’re doing: five days to sharpen your senses and feel fully alive in your body.

Meet Your Guides
Charlotte Grysolle
Charlotte is a breathwork and nervous system coach who works with professionals, entrepreneurs, and teams (including Google and L’Oréal) to explore their full nervous system capacity.
She teaches functional breathing techniques for real life—energy, focus, stress management, sleep.
She’s an Oxygen Advantage Instructor, a certified Breath Science Practitioner, and an ICF-accredited Body-Oriented Coach.
Geraldine Bouckaert
Geraldine is an associate partner in consultancy with a passion for operations, logistics, and turning complex coordination into seamless experiences.
She loves the mountains, loves hiking, and has an eye for detail that means nothing falls through the cracks. She’s the reason this retreat will feel effortless.
Charlotte and Geraldine have been friends since university days (more than 15 years ago by now?!)
Last year, Geraldine joined Charlotte’s freediving and breathwork retreat. Afterwards, Geraldine said the breathwork sessions “were the most restorative she’s ever done.”
Geraldine’s been dreaming for a while about organizing a trip to the mountains. When she mentioned it to Charlotte, they had a GENIUS idea: what if we combined a real hiking experience—moving through the Alps, sleeping in mountain huts, challenging ourselves physically—with daily breathwork? Not as a retreat add-on, but as a genuine integration of both.
The result is this: five days designed to wake up your senses, give you tools that work, and remind you what it feels like to be fully alive in your body.
Geraldine takes care of the logistics and the hikes, and Charlotte guides the daily breathwork.

What's the difficulty level of this retreat?
This is a moderate hiking retreat, suitable for anyone who is reasonably active. We hike approximately 10-20 km per day, at a moderate pace with plenty of rest and integration built in. No advanced fitness or climbing skills required.
Do I need hiking or breathwork experience?
No. This retreat is designed for anyone. You don't need to be a serious hiker or have any breathwork background. Everything is taught from the ground up.
What's the breathing like on the hikes?
We focus on nasal breathing to improve oxygen efficiency and resilience. You'll learn how to breathe while moving, recover between climbs, and use your breath as a tool to manage fatigue and stay present. Every hike is an opportunity to practice.
What do I need to pack?
You'll receive a detailed packing list before the retreat, but essentials include: sturdy hiking boots, layers (mountain weather changes quickly), a light backpack, and a willingness to try something new.
Will I have time to work or check emails?
We recommend full digital disconnection to get the most out of this experience. However, if you need to check in briefly, there will be windows of free time.
